San Antonio Zoo

The First time I actually went to the San Antonio Zoo, our son was rather young and we wanted him to see the zoo. It’s a really nice zoo with lots to see and do.

I’ve never felt more sorry for a zoo animal than I felt for the polar bear roasting on a San Antonio summer day. Sure, maybe they could let people come see gila monsters or some other hotter than hell animals, but be sensible!

I went in fall of ‘06, and it was ungodly humid that day. Don’t go when it’s humid, especially if you have kids. You’ll just get sweaty and cranky, and the animals spend the whole day sleeping. Visit the butterfly exhibit (it’s near the monkeys) and make sure you ride the train from Brackenridge park.

Its a great beautiful place. But, it was small in a way. I still love the zoo from back home, “The Gladys Porter Zoo.” Just much more bigger. But, i would still recommend this place its peaceful and beautiful.

I took my boys (9 and 11) in August 2006. We got a bit lost finding the place but it was worth it. It’s a beautiful zoo. The design allows you to walk through much of the habitat. It also provided quite a bit of coverage from the Texas sun.

Main animal I remembered was this miniature lynx that was the size of your average house cat!

It wasn’t overcrowded and prices were very reasonable and I definitely will go again.
